Now it's clear for me, see http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/91934/no-desktop-and-u-what-for for an explanation of the variables.
%U is for URL's, like file:// http:// - modern programs may understand this, but not nedit. Nedit needs the simple plain %f, or better %F to open a list of files. So the correct solution is #/usr/share/applications/nedit.desktop Exec=nedit-nc %F best regards us2000 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1395437 Title: Lubuntu - PCManFM - Nedit won't open files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lubuntu-meta/+bug/1395437/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
